At our share house you live alongside the landlords, who are a married couple.
The landlord's family also live nearby, so the living room is always a lively and interesting place to interact.
Of course, if you value your privacy, you can keep your distance and when you want to interact with people, you can socialise in the shared space.
It’ s a share house but, with a homestay feel!
Another aspect of life in Ed’ s Share House is the opportunity to improve your skills!
As the landlord is British, it is ideal if you want to learn or improve your English!
Being able to improve your skills while living is a feature of Ed's Share House.

If you value your privacy and need to concentrate, you can keep your distance and when you want to interact with people, you can socialise in a large and comfortable communal space. It’ s a share house but, with a homestay feel!
The spacious balcony facing south receives excellent sunlight. It is large enough to hang out a load of laundry at once. It is a luxurious space essential for a refreshing lifestyle in the pleasant sunshine.
The spacious chef's island kitchen is fully equipped with everything from cooking utensils to tableware and cutlery, allowing you to start your new life comfortably and lightly from the day you move in.
Since you will live alongside the landlords and their family also live nearby, you will have many opportunities to meet people of different generations.
The spacious living room and kitchen, which is an individual characteristic of Ed’ s share house, can be used in a variety of ways. For example, socialising or holding a small event. Also, in the large hot spring bath, you can relax and rid yourself of your tiredness.
People from more than 7 countries have lived in the share house so far. In addition, many Japan people with overseas experience live here, and the landlord is also British, so there is a chance to learn and enhance various cultures, values, and experiences together!
You can use the rooftop in a variety of ways, such as exercise or relaxing with a coffee or an alcoholic beverage.

Nice to meet you. I'm Ed, the landlord.
My wife and I used to live in Bath, in England. Bath is a sister city of Beppu. In Bath, I worked with my wife, as a member of the Bath Beppu Friendship Association, to introduce Beppu and Japan to British people.
Now that we live in Beppu, I would like to introduce a lot of wonderful things about Bath and England to Japan.
I love records, I don't just listen to them, I collect them. My other hobbies include watching sports (darts, cricket, snooker, sumo etc.), learning about local wildlife, hiking, and more recently yoga.
I hold a Certified English Teacher Qualification (CELTA) from the University of Cambridge, UK. Studying is very important when learning a language, but I think the most efficient way is using it in your daily life.
I also think that learning about someone’s background, culture, customs, and history improves the breadth and depth of knowledge of the language you are learning.
I look forward to living with you!

2017: Bath Japan Festival
The Bath Beppu Friendship Association was set up to promote friendship between the residents and communities of Bath and Beppu.
To support development and nurture co-operation in such areas as commerce, industry, economics, education, leisure, sports and culture.
As part of our activities, we started Emakimono projects in both cities and organised Sake tasting events in Bath to acknowledge and strengthen ties between Beppu and Bath.
